In Warped.
Chicago Tribune : "I don't see how
wo nro going to got around that woman's
" said the lli-at .
testimony , shyster lawyer.
"What's the matlorV" asked his part
ner "I have reason to icnow that shu'll tell
a straightforward story that wo'll find
hard to disprove. "
"Then wo'll have o attack horchnrac
ier. "
"But her character Is excellent.-
"Can't you discover anything shady
in her past lifoV"
"Not a thing. "
"Oh , well , perhaps it's bolter so. It
excites and rallies a good woman more
than il docs u bud one , and Hull's wh.it
wo want. "
"But Iho judge ! " proteslcd Iho first
shyster.
"Oh , hang the judge. Wo'll make
no direct attack just doit by inference
you It nowand they always permit that. '
"But she can disprove any slatoment
wo make. "
"Statement ! Statement ! " ho exclaim
ed. "Who's going to make n statement ?
I guess you never practiced in the police
courts , did you ? There's no use iriving
her a clmnco to disprove anything. I'll
cross-examine her and ask her if
she didn't secure a divoice from
a. former husband in 1HS2. That'll
make her mud and she'll begin an In
dignant denial. Then I'll toll hotto
answer 'Yes' or 'No , ' and it will raltlo
her worse tnan ever Sho'll finally
answer 'No , ' and I'll ask her if she's
sure. When she gets excited over this
I'll say : 'O , all right ; all right. I wia ;
afraid it might have slipped your mind.
Lot it drop. ' That will break her up
worse than ever , but I'll drop the sub
ject and ask her if it is trno that she
eloped with her father's coach man when
she was 17 years old. That will settle
her suroand as I won'tgivoborachanco
to say more than 'Yes' or 'No , ' Iho jury
will bo convinced that there's something
wrong. Moreover , sho'll bo so excited
and mad by this time that sho'll be
practically at my mercy and the force of
her evidence broken. "
"And her ropulatton ruined.1'
"But wo'll win thoen e. "
' 'Well , of course ; tlial'a what wo nr
hired for. "
They shook hands ever the compact
and the shyster was afterward quoted us
saying in n political speech that the
great fault with the judicial system of
country was the dillictilty experienced
in gottinjr respectable women to take
the witncbs stand oven in trivial cases
Ho couldn't account for it except on the
theory that they hadn't the desire to see
justice done tb.nl men had.

, Nov. 13 , The executive committee
too of the conservative associations has
drafted a platform to be adopted at the party
caucus , which opens in Birmingham Novem
ber i ! . ' ! , as the final program of the party fet
the coming elections. The distinctive nnmo
given to the National union conference does
not apply iho Inclusion of the liberal union
clement. Tno caucus will bo purely conservative
vative and will consist of Joint delegates
drawn from the English and Welsh con
stituencies. The executive committee , In
view of the momentous character of the
resolutions , as embodying authoritative party
utterances , have been long discussing them
and finally approved them yesterday.
A perusal of advance proofs of the resolutions
shows that the leading proposal concerns
Ireland and discloses the fact that the con
servative leaders have resisted the nppeal of
an In lluentlal section of the pirty to Ignore
Irish affairs. The confeicnco will bo asked
to undor.su the intention of the ministers to
extend local government and promote
technical education In Ireland. As a con
cession to tlio labor vote the conference will
declare In favor of the principle oC labor
representation , and will urge the consprva-
ttvos to support labor camlidalcs every w here
who appeal to enter puDlto life upon no party
lines.

declared thai , the ballot act must be amended
to exclude Illiterate voters.
Lord Salisbury , I'nmo Secretary Matthews
and Sir J. E. Gorst will deliver addivs'os at

HOW TO UTI.l roil
TUB BKE AMI KVVMIM uBi ituu-orCi.MM :
was originally organi/od for the special purpose -
pose of affording claimants under the Indiai
depredation net of March Jl , Ib'JI ' , the means
o ! relict from the oxhorbitaut charges of un
scrupulous agents and attorneys who hai
been charging their clients from 3. ! ) pel
cent to iH ) per com of thu amount of thcii
claims , but so many ex-soldiers and tin
widows nnd orphans ol soldiers offered tholi
claims for prosecution that it became evident
that the Held of usefulness of the bureau wa :
not conllntd ! to thu intoiests of claimants on
account of the depredations of Indians , and
thq scope and plans of the bureau have boon
enlarged to meet the constantly increasing
demand for Its services in behalf ot the sol
dier public.
The btueau docs nothing by halves , and as
soon as it was decided that the claims of sol
diers anil their heirs must occupy a largo share
of its attention an effort was made to secuic
the services ot an expert and thoroughly reliable -
liable a'torney to whom could bo safely entrusted -
trusted thu dullcatc and important interests
of its soldier clients , nnd whoso work would
meet their expectation. In this the bureau
1ms been eminently successful , having secured -
cured the services of Mr. Carroll O. Judson ,
lalu spuclnl examiner of the pension bureau ,
who resigned his ollicial position under the
government to take cnargo of the pension
claim business of Tin : BCD BLUE vu OF Ol. VIMH.
Mr. Judson has spent , nearly half a life
time in p'o cnting claims of ex-soldiers and
heirs. Ho brings to the clients of the Bureau
the frills of many roars' experience in the
prosecution of their claims , nnd a thoiough
know'cdgu of the practice ami methods of
the pension bureau gained through hisolllclal
position therein.
Thousands of f'cs.erv'ng , and In many In
stances , needy ex-soldiers , veterans of timny
tierce buttles , and the widows and orphans of
such , have often toll themselves Justly en
titled to relief nnd nssistanco tlio hands of
the government which they so nobly fought
tor In the hour of peril , yiit have not applied
for pension or other allowance ? duo them for
the simple teason that they wcro not familiar
with the "red " of
tape" requirements the gov
ernment , nnd were not personally acquainted
with an attorney ur un agent in Wnsulngton
or elsewhere , who was in possession of the
technical knowledge necessary to enable him
lo transact Iho business propeily , and were
unwilling to entrust a matter so delicate and
linpoitnnt to any of the thousands ot agents
and attorneys whoao pretentious circulars
Ihey were receiving constantly ; whllo many
others equally deserving and to whom a pen
sion \\ouiu bo at least a piutml relief from Iho
burden of arduous daily manual labor , per
formed under the ultllculty and pain incident
to disease nnd advancing' go , have failed to
nuply for ttio pu'Uim ' which is Justly duo
them , bivauso they were not aware of "their
rights and julviloges under the pension laws.
It is for Iho benefit nnd aid of the above
classes in particular , ns well as for the assist-
nnco of any and all ox-soldiers nnd thoirhoirs ,
that Tun Bun Bi uiu : nc Clams has nddud
to Its business the prosecution ot pension

n trusted to its carols n standing proof of iho
esteem and confidence In which Tin : Bin : U
hold by the public which It serves. It Is likewise -
wise u demonstration. If ono was ro < iulrodot
the need of such an organization.
The revelations in regard to the LoomH
agency which have been published recently
go oven further in the same iircction. Whoa
u mini sought for by the police for nearly a
your on n warrant for embezzlement can setup
up ns a claim agent , Hood the western cotiu -
try with circulars nnd receive assignmouU
for several million dollar's worth of claims ,
it appears that there is llttlo protection for
the claltnanl who sends to an unknown repre
sentative. The men whonsslgned tholrclalms
to Looails would have had small chance of
tholr seeing any of their money if that
schemer had boon given tlmo to collect their
claims. When such ilsks nro run and men
who are notable to go to Washington and
know no ono there must hire their nttornovs
at haphazard , the need for a bureau to pro 1
tect the people and do their work at reason
able rates is apparent.
The approval with which Tin : Bin : enter
prise is received by Journalists nnd public
men is ns gratifying as the response of tlio
public.
